Just a little theory of mine about Halo 3, and how bungie got the Et Tu for thier Et Tu Brute update.
Et Tu - And you/you too?
Et Tu was used in the book "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespear. Caesar's loyal friend Brutus decided to join a group of conspirators (a group of people against a leader), lead by Cassius to kill Caesar.
When they made thier move to kill Caesar, Caesar's last words were "Et Tu Brutus?". Hence Julius' friends name "
Brutus, (Brute).
There are a lot of events in the book Julius Caesar that would fit into Halo 3 (like a mass betrayal, maybe Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and Hunters betray the Covenant? Or maybe Cortana betrays the Cheif? Dunno)
I dunno, post your ideas
Side note: You can find the Et Tu Brute video here:

Good call, JK-47, I was kind of thinking the name had some irony to it, but just waved it off. I think it is entirely possible.

Wow. That's interesting.
"Et tu" is French if anyone is wondering.

Yes, but in isn't it Latin in Julius Caesar? I recall it being "E tu?"
It wouldn't make sense for Julius Caesar speaking French.

Nope, it was Et Tu. Shakespear is wierd like that.

Actually JK-47, his last words were "Et tu, Brute? - Then fall, Caesar!"
He says "Brute," which would be more suited as "Brut
